Certain civil case information on public Case.net is confidential effective
                             November 8, 2023

Effective Wednesday, November 8, 2023, certain civil case information will
be confidential on public Case.net as required by Section 509.520, RSMo.
This applies to entries on civil cases as of August 28, 2023, or later. The
information will include but is not limited to name, address, and date of
birth of minor or next friend and does not apply to probate, treatment,
juvenile, criminal, municipal or traffic cases. Public Case.net will
mask/hide the minor or next friend information for any civil case with one
of the following party types:

MIN - Minor
PETM -Minor Plaintiff/Petitioner
RESM -Minor Respondent/Defendant
NOF - Next Friend
NOFP -Next Friend Acting Pro Se
MVIC - Minor Victim
MINC - Minor Incapacitated

When viewed on public Case.net, the case ID will display with the style of
case, which will read "Section 509.520, RSMo Information" in place of the
litigant's name.

NOTE: Child party types still will not display on public Case.net as
before. Court users or attorneys who are logged in to Case.net will see the
full information without any of the masking used for public Case.net.

      the names.
